Registration fee

The registration fee depends on the type of registration. It must be paid
in advance using one of the approved methods. Once your payment has completed,
you will receive a PDF copy of your receipt using email, and it will also be
available for download on the registration page. Please verify that your
payment has been received within one week of paying it (by checking the status
on the registration form), and contact us if it hasn't.

Once your registration and payment have been confirmed, you will
receive a confirmation email. The email is sent from contact@fosdempgday.org so make
sure to add it to your contacts list to avoid it reaching your spam folder.

You can pay using Credit Card (Mastercard, Visa or American Express),
PayPal or Trustly. If you have a company department making the
payments, please see the section on paying somebody
else's invoice. If you plan to register many attendees to be paid
for by the same person, we also offer bulk payment.

VAT

PostgreSQL Europe is VAT registered and event registrations will include VAT based on
the country of the event. The Belgian VAT rate of 21% is included in the registration
price. Full details are included on the invoice.

If you've attended a PostgreSQL Europe event in the past this might seem new, and it
is. We are since 2016 VAT registered and all our invoices will now include VAT.

Cancellation

If you need to cancel your registration after you have paid, please
contact us via email for manual handling.

If you cancel at least 4 weeks before the conference, we will refund you the full cost
of the registration, minus any transaction fees.

If you cancel at least 2 weeks before the conference, we will refund you 50% of the
cost of the registration, minus any transaction fees.

If you cancel less than 2 weeks before the conference, we will refund you 25% of the
cost of the registration, minus any transaction fees.

Paying somebody else's invoice

If you need to make a registration where somebody else (such as a company
finance department) makes the payment, this is of course also possible. In
this scenario, make sure that you follow this process:

The person attending the conference makes and completes the registration
form logged in using their personal account.

Once the registration details are filled out, proceed to generate the
invoice for the registration.

Once the invoice is generated, there will be a field at the bottom of
the invoice specification labeled External link. This link should
be sent to the person paying the invoice.

The person paying the invoice can then access the invoice using this link
without logging in, and proceed to make the payment using credit card,
PayPal or Trustly.

Bulk payment

We also have a bulk payment system available for those who wish to register multiple
attendees and pay on a single invoice. This system is intended for companies who wish
to send many employees or vendors/providers who wish to pay for their customers to go
to the conference. As it includes more steps, it is recommended that the regular
registration process is used when possible.

To use the bulk payment system, please follow the following process:

Each individual attendee uses the regular
registration form
to register, including filling out all
details and possible additional options such as training. This
is necessary since the connected account is used in all communication
with the attendee, including participating in events and feedback.
For this reason, it is important that each attendee
register themselves, so they get access to all the features
during the conference.
The attendee should not proceed to payment of the registration.

The person in charge of payment (who does not need to be one of
the attendees, but can be) proceeds to
the bulk payment page,
and fills in the invoicing details.

The person in charge of payment fills in all the email addresses
for the attendees to pay for on this page, validates that the total
cost is correct, and generates an invoice.
Generating the invoice locks all registrations against modifications,
but just as with regular registrations they are not confirmed until
the invoice is paid.

The person in charge of payment pays the invoice using credit card,
PayPal or Trustly. Note that the invoice is due on receipt just like
all other registrations, and must be paid using the same methods
immediately.
If you cannot pay using any of these methods, please
contact usahead of time to work
out the details.

When the invoice is paid in the system, all attached registrations
will automatically be confirmed, and the attendees will receive
a confirmation email. Only the person in charge of payment will
receive a PDF copy of the receipt for the transaction.
